Well Gnome!
The Well is deep. The Well holds hidden secrets.
Pick up the gnomes, one by one, and throw them in. Make them work.
Buy upgrades with the hard-earned money and DIG, DIG, DIG.
PD: The game can get wild. If Web performance is not good, please download the desktop version, will work better. It's worth! :)
A short incremental game made by Incrementalist for the Ludum Dare 57 in around 20 hours. Have fun!

Hey! We are also making an incremental bullet hell about space coffee, Astro Prospector! You can play the prologue for free, and wishlist it on Steam! :)

I love the idea, but when I purchase the first upgrade, no other upgrades become available, ever. I got up to a hundred gnomes with only the "move things easier" upgrade. Am I doing something wrong?
we updated the game today and it’s a bug. Sorry! We are fixing it asap :)
It should be fixed now :)
Well I have your attention, alt tabbing the game while the upgrade screen is open really messes with it? It seems like by holding both alt and tab while holding an upgrade i can like, click and drag to navigate the screen-- but then i can't click and drag to navigate it otherwise? Ultimately makes me unable to buy upgrades toward the top of the screen, too.
You should be able to do zoom with the mouse wheel, does that work for buying all the upgrades?
Nah, prevents me from buying the top row of upgrades. I was able to complete the game by just never alt tabbing while the store was open, though.
It was great fun! I'd say "I'd play a whole game like this!" but I know that'd crash my entire computer from the amount of physics objects.
I never had an incremental game punish me this hard when buying an upgrade like the gnome trampoline did on this. it made a huuuuge mess and made stuff less manageable.
thats the point! :D
great game loved i need more of those type of games
started on a laptop and it froze at this after my screeen was flooded with gnomes
and i do mean FLOODED
I had fun with it!! Awesome job :D
Becomes unplayable after long enough but it wont crash lol
Cool game
Hello, my name is Gabriel and I'm a game translator. I'd like to translate your game into Brazilian Portuguese on a voluntary basis!
umh... once i finished the game i got an antivirus message, that stated that the file is infected by IDP.Generic. don't know if it's a malware tho
I have done it.
i was about to find a NSFW game, but this works too i guess!
what did u say
it’s not a NSFW, but the incremental bullet hell we are developing is quite sexy 🤓

the amount of replay for what this is...holy gnome
Simple game. Take Gnome, put it in the well. Take gold, put it in the pot.
Had fun playing the game. It's not too long, nor to short. The graphics are pleasing to look at (i liked the background the most).
General gameplay is simple to understand. The music is chill. I have to agree with other comments, that the Screen shake is quite a lot, but it didn't bother me personally (gave the game more charm).
well thats the point i got to before i almost throw up, the screen shake is insane
I mean I reached +3000 gnomes, Im now invulnerable to dizzyness
Ok that was uber chaotic. Didn’t expect the physics to be enabled on everything. Very satisfying to play.
STAY OUT OF THE F*CKING MONEY POT
great game the choas was perfectly chaosed
After the ending of the game, the treasures come out of the well so quickly that I had a hard time shoving gnomes down. That cracked me up.
This game performed surprisingly well on my crummy laptop!! Even with a gazillion treasures and a billion gnomes on screen. So much fun.
Amazing. The trampoline shot the gnomes over the well which just added to the chaos
Love that you can keep going just to try and break it.
Suggestion: add an option to adjust / turn off the camera shake
LOVE that the depth of the well goes past the stated limit LMAO that is hilarious <2
my gnomes can’t even get down the well anymore because there’s a veritable machine gun of coins. amazing.
fun game! reminds me a lot of coinbox hero!
omg im so excited to play this i loved astro prospector prologue yall make amazing stuff
nome
just getting near 20 gnomes will lagg the game the fick out. :)
nice concept.
will look again if its fixed. right now i can hear the music stuttering like a maniac. ;)
Unplayable on a graphics tablet due to the pointer lock, I think. It throws my pointer around for seemingly no reason when dragging the gnomes. I'm assuming this is because you're trying to reduce pointer sensitivity but what it does is makes the region I can reach go from the entire screen to a small box and as I reach the edge you try to move the pointer to the center of the screen but because graphics tablets use absolute coordinates rather than deltas it just moves the pointer to the edge and back every frame which results in the in-game pointer thinking I'm moving at incredible speeds towards that edge.
Gnome magnet pls?
The gnomes clog up the box
yeah xD
THERES TOO MANY GNOMES PLS I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE
keep pushing they need you pls
oh my gosh i just hate that the screen shakes when there's so many items
How to see well?
u cant
yeah I know. I need glasses.
Fun concept, but the trampolines were extremely frustrating. First the treasure trampoline only worked maybe a quarter of the time (otherwise overshooting or undershooting the cauldron), and then the gnome trampoline never worked at all. Every gnome either didn't make it into the well, or overshot and clogged my cauldron. I had to stop playing after that upgrade because I was spending more time getting gnomes unstuck than actually managing my upgrades.
Also I had to play the download because the browser version constantly slid my cursor to the right.
Super fun! I really like that you can´t see the well and how are the doing is all upo to your imagination!
Really cute but hard to play w/ touchpad mouse.
I had like a 100 gnomes on the screen, all got lemming mentality, amazing game, so good!
crazy game
600 gnomes, help them pls hahaha
Honestly super fun little game! Super chaotic but that is part of the charm!
That got SO CHAOTIC!! I loved everything about it, the physics, the chaos, the MONEYYYY. One of my favorite short games I've played in a while. PSA to everyone: use full screen, works WAY better :)
